How to Set Up an

Elegant Buffet Table

Setting
By Anthony Franco
The Buffet Table
It is the focal point of the party, so you
should know how to set one up the proper
way.
Create Different Heights to Make
the Table Visually Appealing
 A great trick is
through the use
of a set of
stacking cake
plates
 You can go for at least 3 layers to come
up with a tower offering delicious and
sumptuous food.

 Make sure that the food is placed neatly

on the layers and that what they offer are
of the same category.
Consider the Use of LED
Lighting Systems
This can be in the form of LED candles,
which are extremely pretty and will provide
ambient lighting. They look very much like
real candles, but they do not present the
same possible hazards such as table napkins
or cloths catching fire.
Select the Table Décor with
Your Guests in Mind
 You may also want to use tea lights,
votives, pillar candles, and twinkle lights.
In the event that you still want to use
traditional candles, you should never forget
to place them on candelabras or tall candle
holders.
Add Color to the Buffet Table
 Almost anything can actually be used to
decorate a buffet table, given that it is
food safe.
 You should consider using floral bushes
and silk greenery, great examples of which
are wisteria and English ivy.
